A Friendly Flirtation by Christine Warner
Genre: Contemporary, Romance
Release Date: February 15th, 2016
Allison Hall is fed up with being a social outcast. Even at the tech company where she works for her brother and his best friend, Jared, she's the invisible nerdy girl. What she needs is confidence—and that requires a makeover and dating tips. And she knows just the man to help…
Jared Esterly is shocked when Allison asks for his assistance and turns her down, knowing that her brother—his business partner and best friend, Nick—would kill him if he dated her, even if it is just for practice. But when Al’s attempt to make changes on her own fails spectacularly, Jared reluctantly steps in. Things heat up quickly, and soon lessons move from the salon to the bedroom.
When overprotective big-brother Nick discovers Jared is dating Allison, their friendship and business partnership sour. Allison, consumed by guilt, must make a choice: stay with Jared, even though that means ruining his friendship with Nick and possibly his career, or leave the one man who sets her on fire.

Character Profile: Allison
Name: Allison Hall, but most people call me Al.
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Jared describes my eyes as doe-like brown. I
think that’s sweet.
Age: 23
Place of Residence: Chicago, the windy city.
Hobbies: I adore my job, but I do like to collect
penguins. My mother passed away when I was very young and she collected
penguins. I took over the collection and it’s a little out of control but I
can’t resist them. I also like to cook, especially for Gramps.
Goals: I want it all—in my personal life and my
professional life. Mainly I want to fit in and be a normal girl. Being a geek
isn’t all bad, but when I asked Jared for help it was because I knew in order
to truly be happy I had to find a balance.
Least favorite word: I’ve never really thought about
it. I think I’m going to have to say I don’t have one. They all have their
uses, don’t they? lol
Turn ons: Jared. Everything he says and does, the way
he moves. I can’t get enough of him.
Turn offs: This might sound silly, but I’d have to say
mean spirited people. Why can’t people just treat others how they’d like to be
treated? In order to do that they’re going to have to be able to put themselves
in others shoes.
Sound or noise you love: Jared’s voice. My stomach
flips every time. Especially when he says my name.
Sound or noise you hate: I’ve never been fond of the
alarm clock, which is why I always wake up before it goes off. lol
Favorite curse word: Gramps would have a coronary if
he heard me cursing. The most I dare get away with is “heck”. I guess I’m not
only a nerdy girl, but a good girl.
What profession other than your own would you like to
attempt? I love penguins, so if I wasn’t a computer geek I think I’d like to
work with animals. Maybe at the zoo or a park.
What profession would you not like to do? Hmm,
interesting question. I love to take care of the people who mean a lot to me,
but I don’t think I could ever be a doctor, or any type of medical caregiver. I
know I’d get too attached and I wouldn’t be able to keep a professional
distance.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say
when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Your mother has been waiting to see you
again. And then he’d wave his arm to the side and my mother would be standing
their smiling. Just the thought of seeing her again makes my heart smile.
